About this Add-on

Makes it very easy to create new filters. Activate the filter assistant, then drag an email into the folder tree. You will be prompted to choose from 6 templates in order to create a new filter - the extension does the rest.

It will prefill the destination folder and some of the conditions according to the selected template. It also adds lots of good usability features to the filter list, as described in Thunderbird [Bug 450302]. An advanced search box and 2 buttons (move to top, move to bottom) make it easy to manage many message filters.

Additional tools include:

merging and cloning of filters

cut, copy and paste even across mailboxes

alphabetical sorting & grouping of selected filters

extended search of filters: search conditions / actions / folder name

find duplicate filters or filter conditions

find all filters that affect a specific folder

run filters from toolbar button
